In Melbourne, Australia, we have a large Argentine tango following but I see how people get bored with it. Dancing to lyrics they don't understand. I prefer ballroom it's more challenging and I can understand the music.
Thanks! Yes, you are correct. This version is often used today and together with turn to right on 1st step gives us accent which originally wasn't there. I my opinion this is acceptable version for dancers in competitions, but of course not for examination purposes.
As usual, proper form and technique. What you include in your instructional videos, others don't (because they do not know or lazy to do it.) When I watch competitors, as in Blackpool, I see some snap the head (some harder than others) back and forth on some moves, as you showed here. So I have a question: " the degree of snap (speed), is that a personal preference or is there a required degree of head snap?"
Thanks for your appreciation. 👍 I think that speed of accent depends on ability and feeling of music. Head snap must be controlled at end of movement and not to "wild".
+Egils Smagris Yes, that makes sense. IT does leave a bit of room for a personal style because of the subjective aspect to the interpretation of musicality, but yes, it cannot be wild as that shows bad control and form. Thanks.
6 years and still relevant. I was just dancing with a stranger and she did double head twist during corte. Back forth. So i came here to look for answers. Looks like her trainer tought that style. It feels just super unnatural, cause i am used to initiate a ladys head with my movement. She did in out without me. trainers want lots of ladys heads fast and ladys overdo it cause they dont know beter.
+jjmmggdd thanks for you question. Lines can look similar (althogh first step in Back Corte we uese rotation, in Oversway we use sway), but steps are quite differnt. Oversway starts with 2nd part of reverse turn and ends in line. Back Corte starts with "line" and ends with closed finish. You can chech Tilt Oversway here ruclips.net/video/rTuIN3SoDqU/видео.html
+eric jones Depends which tango you speak about. As you know this is International Tango, but there is also Argentine Tango. The latter is found more in social circles than the International and South America is where its danced a lot, like Argentina and Brazil.
People who dance argentine tango just need a hug. I found this when I danced argentine tango there was a lot of hugging but not much dancing as the floor was to crowded
+Peter Beyer Yes, to really perform the Argentine tango socially, enough room to move is needed. I can relate to a crowded dance floor. Kinda ruins any desire to let loose with a particular dance and only close-in dances as ChaCha and Salsa (for example) can work decently (but still limited) on a crowded floor. That is why sometimes I get some ballroom music playing, hardly anyone gets on the floor and I have space to dance. :)

@@EgilsSmagris We did this version in our teaching exam and it was accepted with praise but had to explain the differences.

+Egils Smagris To much "head snap" makes me dizzy!

Peter, I agree - to much is to much! ;)
